Bat file for chkdsk for other logical drives !!!

[Floppyman]

Hello folks i want to make a batch file that would Check the Disk of my other partition irrespective if they are scheduled for the chkdsk and that provide a report.log of the event of the chkdsk.

At the moment i am using this commands :

" echo y> confirm.txt
  chkdsk /r <confirm.txt
  shutdown -r|      " 


This is something which i straight away took from a website,and kept for a schedule check, which it does after a reboot. I have no problem with that.
 But i want the to look at the report.log, can anyone make it for me.   

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Without testing, why wouldn't this work?

Code: [Select]

chkdsk /r /y>report.log
shutdown /r

Almost promising but it didn't work my friend, it didn't even start the chkdsk process.

Okay, try this one then:

Code: [Select]

echo y>confirm.txt
(
chkdsk /r <confirm.txt
) > output.txt
shutdown /r

(
chkdsk /r <confirm.txt
) > output.txt
shutdown /r


Sorry mate that didn't work too, it restarted after 30 sec, but didn't do the chkdsk, too bad. It created log file called confirm.txt and output.txt.

What does you're original code show you when the chkdsk starts running?

I'll need to do a little tinkering to see what's going on with everything, but that information will help.

This is the code , it actually starts the countdown to 30 sec, and then reboots and does the chkdsk, but it doesn't produce an output report or log, that is what i want.

By running CHKDSK at boot, all the Windows services are not available.

Go to Control Panel and double click Administrative Tools
Double click Event Viewer
Double click Application log

Look down the Source column and double click the first Winlogon entry you find. The CHKDSK log should be there.

Nope that too doesn't work , as you mentioned the i.e.,

Code: [Select]

Go to Control Panel and double click Administrative Tools
Double click Event Viewer
Double click Application log

You may have omitted a step:

Look down the Source column and double click the first Winlogon entry you find. The CHKDSK log should be there.

If not, what didn't work? Did you not find admin tools in the control panel? Did you not find the event viewer? Did you not find the Application log?

The procedure is best followed immediately after CHKDSK is run during the boot process. Otherwise you may have to look deeper into the log for a Winlogon entry.
